Central Valley Ag began construction of a new grain and agronomy facility 3 miles north of Oakland, NE in April of 2005. The completed facility officially opened in August of 2007.
The 120 acre site includes a circle track for load out of 110 car unit trains of grain as well as receiving unit trains of dry and liquid fertilizer. The Union Pacific Rail Road serves this site.
The 28,000 ton dry fertilizer facility is the second for Central Valley Ag. The Oakland facility utilizes an 800 TPH receiving system for unloading unit trains of fertilizer. The system is also capable of unloading trucks.
The load-out system consists of a 250 TPH in-floor reclaim system feeding a 200 ton Blend Tower. The tower system is capable of 200 TPH load-out of blended or straight product.
A 43,000 ton dry fertilizer facility was completed in the winter of 2004 for Central Valley Ag at Monroe, NE. This facility is served by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Rail Road. Unit trains and trucks are unloaded at a rate of 800 TPH and the system is capable of loading directly from rail cars into trucks.
The 250 TPH load-out system utilizes a twin in-floor reclaim system; both feeding a 200 ton Blend Tower and a 150 ton Bulk Tower. Combined capacities of both towers exceed 500 TPH.
The company plans to conduct both retail and wholesale business at both facilities.
